Local story for me, too; Grand Forks is only about a 3 hour drive from me, been there any number of times.

Convicted sexual predator with a long history of violence towards women gets released from prison recently and, very shortly thereafter, commits this crime. Yeah, rehabilitation worked REALLY well with this guy. Too bad we don't have the death penalty up here.

Lots of locals would REALLY like to have some private, one-on-one time with this character. May he rot in Hell forever.
